Centrality determination in heavy-ion collisions with the LHCb detector

Lesya Shchutska, Olivier Schneider, Aurelio Bay, Guido Haefeli, Frédéric Blanc, Tatsuya Nakada, Michel De Cian, Elena Graverini, Veronica Sølund Kirsebom, Ettore Zaffaroni

The centrality of heavy-ion collisions is directly related to the created medium in these interactions. A procedure to determine the centrality of collisions with the LHCb detector is implemented for lead-lead collisions root s(NN) = 5 TeV and lead-neon fi ...

Precise determination of the B-s(0)-B-s(-0) oscillation frequency

Lesya Shchutska, Olivier Schneider, Aurelio Bay, Guido Haefeli, Frédéric Blanc, Tatsuya Nakada, Michel De Cian, Elena Graverini, Veronica Sølund Kirsebom, Ettore Zaffaroni

Mesons comprising a beauty quark and strange quark can oscillate between particle (B-s(0)) and antiparticle (B-s(-0)) flavour eigenstates, with a frequency given by the mass difference between heavy and light mass eigenstates, Delta m(s). Here we present a ...

Test of lepton universality in beauty-quark decays

Lesya Shchutska, Olivier Schneider, Aurelio Bay, Guido Haefeli, Frédéric Blanc, Tatsuya Nakada, Michel De Cian, Elena Graverini, Veronica Sølund Kirsebom, Ettore Zaffaroni

The standard model of particle physics currently provides our best description of fundamental particles and their interactions. The theory predicts that the different charged leptons, the electron, muon and tau, have identical electroweak interaction stren ...
